In the 1.7 version the tag select's can't be set with text

[[email protected]…]

For example , write a tag like this <select id="test"><option value='0'>test1</option><option selected value='1'>test2</option></select>. Then I set the select like this:$("#test").find("option[text='test1']").attr("selected", "selected");

but it didn't work, it will work in the 1.6 version

There is no text attribute, so it looks like we fixed the bug that incorrectly made this return an element in 1.6 or earlier. If you want to select an element based on the text inside it, you could try :contains() instead, or use a .filter() function looking at the .text property.
